    Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?

        I’m one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I’m working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I’m using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace

    It changed my life. Mainly because of the automatic citation handling and bibliography generation in LyX.

    No, but seriously, half of my research time is wasted on renaming downloaded files. (Yeah, I know, there’s reference management software but people use different ones, so sharing papers or storing tgem for easy access is still dependent on properly named files.)

      I have a script which fetches bib entries for pdfs, and then renames it to my prefered format (names of author (no more than 2) - name of paper).

      in case you are interested

      
#!/usr/bin/env sh

newnamefn(){
	bib="$(pdf2bib "$1")"
	name="$(echo "$bib" | grep "title = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1 )"
	authors=$(echo "$bib" | grep "author = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1  | sed -z 's/\ and\ /\n/g' | head -n 2 | tr '\n' ' ')
	echo "$authors-$name" | detox --inline
}

for i in "$@" ; do 
	newname="$(newnamefn "$i")" 
	mv "$i" "${i%/*}/$newname".pdf
done

      detox --inline is just a utility which makes the file names shell friendly (removes special characters and spaces), but that is optional. Also, technically the newnamefn is what does all of the job, and below is just a loop to iterate on all files that are given as input like script file1 "file2" file3, where file2 had some special characters, so enclosed in "" quotes. you can also translate it to python, then you would not even require sed and grep (you can just get output in json-esque format). I have a small keybinding in my file manager, which renames all selected files, so I do not have to spend any amount of my mind

      you can make it work in any os (maybe use some llm for it), you just have to install pdf2bib

      Why aren’t you just sending people a doi or a hyperlink if they want a paper? And if they have asked for a specific paper surely they can do the renaming?

    File names are for plebs.

    Serious people use document management systems and rich metadata to manage these things.

      Hello wizard,

      May I ask what ur favorite “document management system” is (hopefully containerized in docker)?

        Not a wizard, but I’m finding my docker configuration of paperless-ngx to meet my minimal needs.

        There are several document management systems (DMS) that can be used on Debian and Android and can be synchronized using Syncthing. Here are some options:

        1. Paperless-ngx:

          • Description: Paperless-ngx is an open-source document management system that offers OCR functionality and can extract metadata from documents. It can be synchronized with Syncthing by setting up a shared folder where documents are uploaded and automatically processed.
          • Usage with Syncthing: Users can set up a Syncthing folder where documents are uploaded, and Paperless-ngx can automatically process these documents and extract metadata.
          • Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
          • Source: Reddit Discussion.

        2. Mayan EDMS:

          • Description: Mayan EDMS is another open-source document management system that offers extensive features for managing documents and metadata.
          • Usage with Syncthing: Similar to Paperless-ngx, Mayan EDMS can be configured to process documents from a Syncthing folder.
          • Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
          • Source: Reddit Discussion.

        3. LetoDMS:

          • Description: LetoDMS is an open-source document management system based on PHP and MySQL. It supports document metadata, version control, and automated email notifications.
          • Usage with Syncthing: LetoDMS can be configured to process documents from a Syncthing folder and manage metadata.
          • Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
          • Source: Medevel Article.

        4. ProjectSend:

          • Description: ProjectSend is a secure, simple, and powerful open-source file-sharing system. It supports multiple languages and has a responsive design that works on various screen sizes.
          • Usage with Syncthing: ProjectSend can be configured to manage files from a Syncthing folder and synchronize metadata.
          • Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
          • Source: Medevel Article.

        These systems can be synchronized with Syncthing by setting up shared folders that are monitored and processed by the DMS. Syncthing itself supports the synchronization of metadata and can be used on various platforms, including Debian and Android.

          Was surprised I didn’t see Paperless mentioned yet, there’s a few plug-ins to add LLM support for auto naming/tagging too

            As far as Linux and free software are concerned, I am one of the wizards. LLMs won’t go away. The question is how you use them. The knowledge they contain far surpasses mine. I ask good questions and extract the knowledge I can use.

            As the ‘wizard’ in this little tale, I can’t really expand on what the golem has suggested, if self-hosted and open source is what you’re after. They seem like solid suggestions as a starting point.

            My experience is more in the ‘enterprise’ realm, dealing with tools like SharePoint or Oracle Webcenter - neither of which I would recommend. Ever. To anyone. Even if I hate them.

            For my personal IKM needs I’m more focused on notes and relationships between concepts, and less on documents. I’m quite liking Obsidian, which I’ve switched to recently after giving up on Evernote.

              I guess if people want to read answers generated by an LLM, they would just ask one.

              The anti-AI morons on Lemmy can’t or won’t tell the difference. They think “slop” is just a term for any LLM-generated (or refined) content. There’s no nuance to their thinking at all. They don’t assess the quality of the information provided or how the tool is actually being used.

                Given the sources don’t really back up the content, I think it’s safe to say this is slop. You should probably proof AI slop before you white knight it next time.

                  The question was about document management systems that can be run in docker. The LLM response listed four document management systems that can be run in docker.

                  Was it a perfect response? No.

                  Was it a useful response? Yes.

                  Was it a better contribution to the discussion than yours? Lol.

    It’s not my fault. All the servers hosting papers name them like this. Go complain to them. No seriously, go complain to them. This has annoyed me for quite some time.
